Hi Boon Chiang,

Just returned to Belfast and found the '76-er's souvenir pack waiting for me. Thank you very much for taking the trouble to forward the items. Please also convey my sincere gratitude to the Committee responsible for issuing the souvenirs. Their gifts are much appreciated and will continue to refresh memories of years gone by!
.
Regards and best wishes to all.

The Mother of All Reunions - Part 8 (Gift Bag)

Initially I didn't think there would be a Part 8 for this series of posts, but several people have been nudging me to post pictures of the gift bag and souvenirs we all received on the evening.

So here they are:

Above you see the bag itself, which contained a customised NST front page (from the day we were born), personalised towel, the souvenir pen and the T-shirt (front). [Sorry, my NST copy was rolled up & in the bag itself, but you can see it in one of the folowing pictures]

The back of the T-Shirt is even more special as it features the names of all attendees.

Excellent design and production work by Standard Resources (BW's business) which specialises in souvenirs and premium gifts.

And a most priceless item is a copy of the front page from The Straits Times (back then it was still called that, before Malaysia and Singapore parted, and the publication in Singapore continued that name, while Malaysia went for New Straits Times). Thanks to Dato' AM and NSTP, each attendee had the page from the day of his birth in 1959 (or 1958 or 1960).

To those who couldn't attend, see what you missed ?
